fasting for 1 hour glucose?
My Dr. told me to eat a small bowl of cheerios before taking the glucose test but lie to them and day I fasted.... anyone else do that?
I just got the call that I failed with a 137 - girls who failed, what was your number?

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I was told not to fast. They didn't ask me when I was there either. I passed.
Sorry to hear that you didn't.

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I was told not to fast. Had cereal and a cup of coffee that morning. They asked if I fasted and I said no, then they handed me the glucose drink. I failed by 10 points. I took my 3 hr last thurs and have not received the results yet.

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I didn't have to lie about not fasting for the 1 hour because they didn't ask me.
I failed the 1 hr and my number was I think 188.
And despite the fear I had of the 3 hr test, it really wasn't that bad.

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I didn't fast. I had scrambled eggs with cheese before my test. I passed with 110.

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
The nurse at my dr's office said I didn't have to fast but if I did eat anything, to make sure it was bland. I ended up going for the test at 8:30 am though, and I never eat before that, so I guess I did fast. Passing or failing really doesn't have as much to do with what you eat as much as how your body processes sugars. That's what the test is looking for. You could be the healthiest eater out there and still fail.

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I was told not to eat 3 hours prior. I ate breakfast, went to the gym, had a yogurt, then waited the 3 hours. I think the gym was a bad idea cause I WAS STARVING...but passed with no problem!

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I feel like every Dr. and place is different. My Dr told me not to fast for the 1 hour, but if I failed, I had to fast for the 3 hour. When I went to Sunrise in Babylon, they asked if I fasted and I said that I hadn't eaten anything yet (it was 8am) and my Dr. told me not to. For those girls, who did fast, their blood was tested twice- once before the test and after.
I passed, so I don't know if fasting had something to do with it. Sorry you failed

Re: fasting for 1 hour glucose?
I was told not to fast. I finished up a bacon egg and cheese bagel in the car before I went in for my test
When I told the tech that I didn't fast, she said "well, see you back for the 3 hour"
I was worried that I would fail, but I passed with a result well below the cutoff (don't remember what the exact # was)
